If you dont mind jumping through hoops constantly, you can play with Ruth in the outfield

How?

I’m amazed that SCEA did this to Ruth. Really ticks me off. Yes it’s a game. Still incredibly stupid.

Before the first pitch in the first inning you can sub Ruth (or any pitcher in 19) into rightfield. You can even field him at 1B if thats what you want. Or DH.

Now this is where it gets lengthy.
Since you may not want to lose a bat off the bench in the later innings, which is what will happen by removing your original RF before the game starts, you'll need to identify 2 key players at the start of your season that will rotate with each other from your Single A team all year long. They will both need at least 1 option left that you will burn and it will be good for use all season. I suggest the first player to be one of your pitchers in your starting rotation (the only time he'll need called up to the majors is his day in the rotation to start). The second player to identify is which position player to be sent down on when its your 5th SP day to start. Your basically working with a 26 man roster instead of 25.
Its important to shuttle the 2 players between the MLB team and the Single A team so that, say your AAA team isnt using your pitcher while he's down on the farm 4 out of every 5 days.


Lengthy

I was just looking and it looks like the vast majority have zero options left, looks like it will be really difficult to get more than a handful to the minor leagues

Legends with options left
Jim Palmer
Craig Kimbrel
Mike Scott
Bob Gibson
Chris Sale
CC Sabathia
Clayton Kershaw
Jim Edmonds
Evan Longoria & thats it

Uhhhhh grrrr. I just simmed to regular season and everyone is something to do with optional waivers and other teams have two days to pick them up. What the hoot??$&@$

So now what? Will the edit player messing with options work before I start the franchise?

Why in the world is this so complicated?

I wish you could hear me say ha ha ha. Like sarcasm.

I do know no cpu team has ever picked up anyone when I’ve done this in previous years. But yes. Most went on waivers or whatever.

So will editing player options before the start of the franchise do anything?

How can we get this to work though? I don’t understand why they made this so complicated. I like much better in the past when you could bring up and send down players with no issues as many times as you want. I don’t care to have the game so realistic it messes with my enjoyment.

I dont think you can increase their options
